Question

I'm really worried about my friend who keeps getting ringworm over and over. She gets better after treatment, but then a few months later, it pops up again. Is this something serious, or does it mean something else might be going on? The doctor mentioned coming back if it happens again, do you think she should make another appointment? What steps should she take to finally get rid of it for good?

Question

Ive been on Acutret 20 since the end of May and usually check in with my doctor monthly. My last visit was in mid-July, where he told me to keep taking Acutret 20 after breakfast and Azid 500 before dinner three times a week for two weeks. Since then, my acne has gotten a bit better, with just 23 pimples popping up in the last month. Unfortunately, I cant see him until September 9th. Should I keep taking these meds or should I stop until I can get more advice?

Question

I've been taking these medicines: Syntran 200, Codox, Hizet 25 mg, Lorinol 10, and using Tribex cream and Nozal cream. Now I'm breaking out in red rashes all over my body. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm dealing with eczema and I've been using luliconazole for it. I'm concerned about whether it's a topical steroid cream and if this could be harmful to my skin. I've also heard that steroids might increase the risk of lymphoma. Could you help clarify this for me?
